Hi all. I currently have a 30Amp breaker on 10 gauge wire for the air handler and heat strip. This was a new install and the local inspector seems to think that 30amps is not enough. I took a picture of the specs and uploaded below. What breaker/wire is needed to be in compliance? Any help is greatly appreciated.

Note: Heater Kit is HKR-05

Your local inspector is wrong. If he cannot tell that it very clearly states 30A circuit is appropriate then he needs to go back to inspector school. :rolleyes:

M.C.A. is minimum circuit ampacity. The minimum size the circuit can be.
M.O.P. is maximum overcurrent protection. The maximum overcurrent (breaker or fuse) that can be placed on the circuit.
